About this property
Rural property on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park
Detached 3 bedroomed property set in approx. Half an acre
5 Minute walk from the River Don
Large double garage
Bright and spacious lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light, enhanced by the adjoining south-facing conservatory
Norah Nesland and re/max City & Shire are delighted to bring to the market Strathglen, a charming three-bedroom detached rural residence enjoying a picturesque setting close to the River Don and within easy reach of the Cairngorms National Park. Offering the perfect balance of peaceful countryside living and accessibility, the property is located just a short drive from Alford and approximately 45 minutes from Aberdeen.
Set within approximately half an acre of mature gardens, Strathglen enjoys a wonderful natural environment with an abundance of established plants, shrubs and trees. Mature woodland planting along the northern and western boundaries provides excellent shelter and privacy, while the property's south and east-facing aspects afford attractive open views across the surrounding countryside. A patio area accessed directly from the lounge provides the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, al fresco dining or simply relaxing and enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine.
Constructed by the current owners around 30 years ago, the property benefits from double glazing, oil-fired central heating and well-proportioned accommodation throughout. While some modernisation and upgrading would enhance the home, it offers excellent potential for purchasers seeking to create a bespoke family residence in a highly desirable rural location.
Location
The property is approached via a tarred driveway. Strathglen presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle surrounded by stunning Aberdeenshire scenery.
Primary schooling is available at Towie, while secondary education is provided at the modern Alford Community Campus, which also offers a swimming pool, sports facilities and library. The village of Alford, approximately 15 minutes away, provides an excellent range of amenities including a medical centre, dental practice, veterinary surgery, pharmacy, post office, supermarket, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Recreational opportunities in the area include an 18-hole golf course, bowling green, dry ski centre, fitness facilities and several country parks.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, setting and potential that Strathglen has to offer.
